ture repairs we believe have
to be made to the four Glenbard schools,” Glenbard 4 Kids
spokesman Steve Garwood said.
“From a safety, security
and educational standpoint,
this is for the benefit of the
kids,” Garwood said. “Some of
the repairs needed would replace mechanical structures
that are [about] 50-years-old.”
The $35 million is expected
to be used to fund $8 million of
projects in summer 2016, $18
million in summer 2017 and
$9 million in summer 2018, ac-

rooms, common areas and outdoor spaces.
The district will fund the
remaining $65 million of its
Master Facility Plan through
its Operations and Maintenance budget, which is about
$6.5 million per year. The
board previously approved issuing bonds to borrow $20 million that will be paid off using
that budget.
“It is a significant sharing
between taxpayers and the
District 87 board,” Garwood
said.
The Master Facility Plan,
reviewed and approved by the
Board of Education in December 2011, was developed by
Legat Architects of Chicago
with input from the district
and community members,
who participated in several
months of focus groups.
A steering committee, comprised of board members, staff,
faculty, administrators, students, parents and community
members, was also formed to
gather feedback.
Legat Architects originally
identified $179 million worth
of work to be completed during
the plan’s 10-year cycle. However, the district scaled the
plan back to $100 million after
determining that the remaining $79 million of work will be
addressed in the following 10
years.

GLEN ELLYN – Voters
headed to the polls this month
in Glenbard Township High
School District 87 will be asked
to support the issuance of $35
million in bonds to fund facility projects at the district’s four
schools.
If approved, the $35 million
would extend the district’s
bond debt– currently due to
expire in Fiscal Year 2026–
through Fiscal Year 2039, according to a report prepared
by PMA Securities, the district’s financial adviser.
Residents’ tax rates would
not increase as a result of the
bond issuance, said District 87
Superintendent David Larson.
“What we are asking is to
add additional bonds on without any increase to the property tax [rate],” Larson said.
“It’s really about investing in
our number one asset, which
is our students.”
The referendum question
will appear on the March 18
election ballot.
Glenbard 4 Kids, a parent-led ballot initiative group
formed in December 2013, has
been busy rallying referendum support in the communities that make up the four high
schools.

Bald eagle recovers after being shot
By ANNA SCHIER
aschier@shawmedia.com
GLEN ELLYN – After a
brush with danger, a bald eagle is on the mend at Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen
Ellyn.
The bird was brought to
Willowbrook on Feb. 20, after
being found in south suburban
Oak Lawn with a bullet in its
left wing, said Education Site
Manager Sandy Fejt.
Its rescuer was Oak Lawn
Animal Control Officer Barry
Adamczyk, who said he received a call from a resident
about an injured eagle in their
neighbor’s yard.
Adamczyk said he was
skeptical and thought the bird
was likely a hawk. But when
he arrived at the caller’s home,
there was no denying what he
saw perched on the fence.
“I was shocked,” he said. “I
didn’t believe I was looking at
a bald eagle.”
Catching the bird took mere
minutes, as it could only fly a

A bald eagle has been healing its broken wing since Feb. 20 at Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
few feet off the ground with its
injury.
“He didn’t put up a fight,”
said Adamczyk, who has never encountered a bald eagle
during his time working in animal control.
In addition to its broken

wing, the eagle suffered internal trauma and was dehydrated and malnourished, most
likely because it couldn’t fly or
hunt after being shot, said Forest Preserve District of DuPage
County Public Affairs Specialist Bonnie Olszewski.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting are
unknown, she said, but Willowbrook has relayed information about the incident to the
Illinois Department of Natural
Resources and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
“We think it’s a pretty serious offense,” Fejt said.
Bald eagles are designated
as a threatened species, she
said, and not only is Oak Lawn
not an open hunting space,
the birds are protected by the
Federal Migratory Bird Act,
and therefore are never legal
to hunt.
Illinois is home to more
than 3,000 bald eagles during
the winter months – more
than any state except Alaska,
according to Illinois’ official
website.
“This is our nation’s emblem,” she said. “It’s hard
to say what would motivate
somebody to do that.”
The eagle underwent surgery Feb. 27, Olszlewski said,
which went well. It will re-

main on pain medication and
antibiotics to ensure its health
in the coming weeks.
“He’s had a pretty good recovery,” Fejt said.
As the bird recuperates, it
will transition through a series of increasingly larger enclosures into a more natural
environment, Olszlewski said.
It also will work to regain
its natural abilities at Willowbrook’s raptor flight facility,
an outdoor rehabilitation area
for injured raptors, she said.
Fejt projects the eagle will
remain at Willowbrook for at
least a month, but at no point
will it be available to view publicly.
However, the center does
have a bald eagle that is a permanent resident of the center
and available for public observation, she said.
Fejt estimates Willowbrook
has played host to four or five
bald eagles in recent years.

do not. In an
attempt to divert the perception that
your insurance carrier doesn’t ofer
hearing aid coverage, they may have
a program in place that they call a
“discount” program. “We won’t pay
for your hearing aids but we will get
you a discount on them.” How is
that? hat can be confusing.
To better understand your insurance
beneits for hearing healthcare
products and services, the irst step
is to consult a Doctor of Audiology.
Only Audiologists are authorized
to bill insurance on behalf of the
patient. Technicians and hearing
instrument specialists cannot bill
insurance because they are not
recognized by insurance companies
as approved hearing aid providers.

Technicians typically work at hearing
aid “stores”.
he Audiologist can determine
what your insurance company will
cover. What you want to beware of
is an insurance “discount” program
that steers you toward lower quality
products. hese programs are created
by insurance companies for them
to make money on the hearing
aids you buy through an oice they
have an agreement with. It’s a clever
ruse: hey don’t ofer coverage on
hearing aids (insurance company
saves money) and make money on
the hearing aids that person buys.
Remember things aren’t always as
they seem. You may pay less, but you
also get less.
To avoid being mislead regarding
your insurance coverage for hearing
aids, always irst consult with an
Audiologist. You can be assured that
you get what you’re entitled to.
he Audiologist is the only
professional that should determine
the type of hearing aids and
technologies a person needs as
determined by the person’s hearing
loss and health needs.

About the author: Dr. Terri Lightbody is a nationally known Audiologist and has her private practice at Town

Students learn about careers in science
By ANNA SCHIER
aschier@shawmedia.com
GLEN ELLYN – Representatives from Google, BP Oil
and Fermilab rubbed shoulders Feb. 27 in Glen Ellyn.
The esteemed crowd wasn’t
in town to attend a fundraiser
or industry conference, but to
educate the next generation of
science, technology, engineering and math professionals.
The Glenbard West High
School S.T.E.M. Club hosted
its first ever Project Innovation or “Project i” event last
week at Hadley Junior High
School.
The goal of the undertaking was to give Hadley
eighth-graders an opportunity to meet science professionals and learn about careers in
math and technology.
Project i was the brainchild of club co-president and
14-year-old Glenbard West
freshman Claire Wild, who

said she came up with the idea
after attending career expos at
McCormick Center and Fermilab as a seventh grader.
“It’s really just about making science open and inviting,” she said.
Wild and her fellow club
members did everything they
could think of to make the project a success, club representatives said, garnering support
from State Rep. Sandra Pihos,
R-48, networking at youth science events and contacting everyone they knew in the field.
The event was funded entirely by sponsors, including
community members and private companies.
Project i hosted 21 breakout
session presenters, organizers
said, many of whom are Glen
Ellyn residents and Glenbard
or Hadley parents.
The keynote speaker was

ground and just happens to
live next-door to a member of
the S.T.E.M. Club’s executive
board.
“I’m interested in different STEM careers,” said Nicole Mattson, age 14, who
was among the 420 Hadley
eighth-graders who partici-

pated in the event. “This was
just something that I thought
would be really interesting.”
However, organizers said
the program was intended
to appeal to a wide range of
students, including those who

• SCIENCE
Continued from page 6
are not interested primarily
or solely in science.
“I have been a cheerleader
for eight years, and I really
didn’t fit the mold of a math
and science kid,” said 16-yearold club co-president Shay Kiker, a sophomore at Glenbard
West. “But I really wanted
all of these kids here today to
know that whether they like
art or they like sports or they
like any other hobbies, that
they have a spot in math and
science.”
Project i presenter Jim El-

liott, an assistant professor in
the Department of Physical
Therapy and Human Movement Sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg
School of Medicine, agrees
with Kiker.
“I wasn’t a very traditional student,” he said. “I didn’t
like science. I was a baseball
player.”
After a successful first run,
Wild and Kiker hope to host
the event again next year. Although the S.T.E.M. Club was
originally founded to establish Project i, its organizers
also hope to host additional
speakers and coordinate field
trips.

GLEN ELLYN – The Glen
Ellyn Village Board voted Feb.
24 to approve a $1.34 million
contract with Kurtz Paramedic
Service and purchase two ambulances for nearly $500,000.
Trustee Pete Ladesic cast the
sole opposing vote.
The New Lenox-based company’s five-year contract was
$636,676 less than the next-lowest vendor submission, according to village documents.
Despite the apparent
savings, some officials had
doubts.
“I don’t understand how one
bid can be so much less than
three other bids,” said trustee
Tim O’Shea. “I hope there’s not
something out there that we
don’t know, that we don’t see,
that’s going to come in year
two, year three, year four or in
a renewal.”
Kurtz’s clients include
Wheaton, Westmont and
Bensenville.
“We’re very confident in
their abilities,” said Assistant
Village Manager Al Stonitsch.
The village received four
paramedic service proposals
and considered three models
for the agreement, documents
said, eventually settling on one
in which the village will continue to own and maintain its ambulance fleet.
Ladesic expressed concern
about the village owning ambu-

lances, which, he said, did not
reflect a true fixed cost.
“It gives us the best budgetable model moving forward,”
said Glen Ellyn Mayor Alex
Demos. “I think we’ve done our
due diligence.”
By opting to own its ambulances, the village will save
about $153,000 per year, according to village documents,
although it will bear accompanying liabilities.
Because the board chose
to maintain responsibility for
its ambulances, officials voted to buy two new vehicles
from Foster Coach Sales, Inc.,
for $493,386, documents said,
amending the annual equipment services budget to pay for
the ambulances in 2014 and realize a pre-payment discount of
$9,828.
The ambulances are estimated to have a lifespan of at least
10 years, according to village
documents, and will replace
current vehicles.
Staff and officials previously considered a model with
a 5-year operating life, but
Stonitsch said choosing the 10year option will save the village
$356,000.
The board voted in November to increase ambulance fees
for nonresidents and add new
fee categories for assistance not
requiring hospital transport, a
decision expected to generate
more than $20,000 annually.
The new fees will go into effect June 15.

Belushi, comedy group to headline MAC opening

GLEN ELLYN – As part
of the opening ceremonies
for College of DuPage’s new
McAninch Arts Center, one
of the school’s most famous
alumni will take its stage.
Jim Belushi, who graduated from the college in 1974
and grew up in Wheaton, will
return to the school Saturday,
with his improv group The
Chicago Board of Comedy.
“When I go back, I guess
there’s always some kind of
pressure to perform after all
these years,” Belushi said in
an email to Suburban Life.
“There is also always a great
deal of excitement and joy. I
love College of DuPage. Those
teachers changed my life.”
The comedy group will give
two performances. The first, at
6 p.m., is a MAC Madness fundraising event to benefit the
College of DuPage Foundation,
the John Belushi Scholarship
Fund and other center-related programs. At 9:30 p.m. the
show will be open to the public.
The evening marks the first
official performance at the
center after a 14-month, $35
million renovation – the building’s first update since it was
built 25 years ago – which was
funded by a $168 million referendum area voters passed in
November 2010.

“To be able to work in such
a gorgeous facility and professional facility is really a
treat,” she said. “You’re not
just sitting in a black box.”
Martinez said the center will
serve as an ambassador to the
community for the college and
an entry point to other services

“It’s very exciting. I think it’s
really great that they’ve invested
the time and money into the facility,” she said. “The theater program is so good and so valuable,

that they are putting the money

In his fifth State of the Union Address, President Obama
pledged that 2014 will be a “year of action.” Through “pen and
phone,” he vowed to sidestep Congress and advance policies to
create jobs for Americans struggling to find work in a tough
economy. But after 5 1/2 years, the Keystone XL pipeline –
which would create thousands of American jobs and boost our
weak economy – is still gathering dust on the president’s desk.
All this time, President Obama has delayed the construction
of the pipeline by claiming it would accelerate climate change.
Recently, the president’s own
State Department rejected
that argument when they
VIEWS
released their final EnvironPeter
mental Impact Statement,
concluding that building the
Roskam
Keystone pipeline will have
no significant effect on the
climate. The comprehensive 11-volume report went further
to say that if the pipeline isn’t built, oil will be transferred
by much more environmentally risky means – train, tanker
or rail – resulting in up to 41.8 percent more greenhouse gas
emissions.
The State Department’s report confirms that Keystone
would create tens of thousands of jobs and move America
closer to energy independence, making Keystone a win-win
policy. An overwhelming percentage of Americans are in favor
of building the pipeline, and support for the project is strong
among the governors whose states the pipeline will go through.
Right here in Illinois, manufacturers are strongly encouraging the approval of the pipeline. Steve Romanelli, owner of
Core Pipe in Carol Stream supports the construction of Keystone not just because of the obvious benefits of having a more
secure and reliable source of energy, but because of the role
energy plays in our manufacturing workforce. Steve and many
others believe that with approval of Keystone, the U.S. could
see a manufacturing resurgence, because as Steve puts it, “the
lifeblood of manufacturers is energy.”
Shockingly, the president is still using every possible stall
tactic to delay the pipeline’s approval. Fears are growing that
he will even use a Nebraska court case over the pipeline’s
route as his next excuse.
It is clear that when President Obama said he will lead this
“year of action” he just plans to continue with more of the
same. The president must not delay another day on approving
the Keystone XL pipeline that will create good-paying jobs at
home and unleash our energy potential.

Republican governor
primary: Bruce Rauner
Illinois has big problems.
Years of fiscal mismanagement and
incompetent leadership have compromised the state’s economic future.
Illinois’ five public pension systems
are underfunded by more than $100
billion.
The state ended 2013 with more than
$7 billion in unpaid bills.
Illinois’ credit rating has been downgraded five times since 2011, meaning
taxpayers must pay much more in interest when the state borrows money.
Moody’s Analytics predicted that
Illinois will be dead last among all 50 U.S.
states in job growth in 2014.
It’s clear that those running state government have failed and change is long
past due.
On March 18, Republican primary
voters have an opportunity to select the
candidate they want to run against Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in the November
general election.
State Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk
Dillard are making a second run for the
office. (Brady won the GOP nomination
four years ago before losing a close
election to Quinn.) Illinois Treasurer
Dan Rutherford also is running, though
his campaign has been rocked by sexual harassment charges leveled by a
former staffer. Rounding out the field is
businessman Bruce Rauner, whom we
endorse.
Rauner is not a career politician. In
fact, this is his first run for public office.
He supports term limits and, if he is
elected, pledges to serve only two terms.
He’s independently wealthy and will
not be beholden to the special interest

groups who have helped to corrupt
Springfield. He will not be afraid to
stand up to the powerful public employee
unions who have resisted change. His
wealth was not given to him. He earned
it during a lifelong career as an investor
and businessman.
Rauner is blunt when assessing the
state’s many problems. Workers’ compensation is crushing businesses and
an impediment to job growth. Despite a
recent reform measure, public pensions
are overly generous and unsustainable
in the long term. The state’s tax system
is unduly burdensome to both taxpayers
and businesses and needs to be reformed.
Rauner knows big changes need to be
made to get the state back on the right
path.
Despite the many challenges, and the
fact that whoever wins the governor’s
seat more than likely will have to work
with Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate
President John Cullerton and a Democrat-controlled General Assembly, Rauner is confident he can get the job done.
He has a genuine love for Illinois and a
desire to improve the quality of life here.
Rauner also knows his limitations.
He admits that he himself doesn’t have
all the answers, but he promises to
surround himself with the best and
brightest and work as hard as necessary
to succeed, just as he has in his professional life.
Rauner has the energy, the charisma
and the financial backing to stand up to
Quinn in the fall and win.
In the Republican primary for governor, we endorse Rauner.

Pihos is right choice
To the Editor:
The call to replace the
incumbent to bring change
to Springfield has been loud
but in the primary race for the
48th District House seat, it is
clear Sandra Pihos’s bid is one
race where the incumbent is
the right choice. Sandra Pihos
wholeheartedly deserves your
vote to continue to serve her
constituents and fight to control spending in Springfield. As
an advocate for education (and
past District 87 board member)
and budget transparency, she
will continue working alongside
her fellow legislators to get our
state back on track. More than
ever we need Sandra’s practical
experience and keen ability to
work collectively across the
aisle and continue to represent
the 48th District’s best interests.
Pihos is being challenged by
conservative opponent, Peter
Breen, who seemingly is running
more for his “pro-life at any

can primary. They asked how I
viewed myself, conservative vs.
liberal, and where I fell on prolife vs. pro-choice.
The questions then became
more specific regarding the race
between Peter Breen and Sandra
Pihos. I was asked specifically
if I would be more likely or less
likely to vote for Ms. Pihos if I
knew about three specific items,
all of which showed her in a
positive light. I was then asked
about three specific items that
showed Mr. Breen in a negative

voters and not be a lackey for a
deep pocketed PAC.
Please join me March 18 and

Illinois House District 48. Some answers have been edited for length.

Why are you seeking re-election?
Pihos: Illinois government is not

and rolling back the temporary tax
increase. I will continue to give strong
constituent services, only vote for a
balanced budget and spur job creation.

Why do you think you are suited
for this office?
Breen: I have a strong understanding of the issues facing Illinois and a
proven record of reducing spending
and returning savings to taxpayers. In

very proud and vocal about your
roots in Chicago and the Chicago
suburbs. What are your thoughts
on returning, especially to the
area where you grew up?
Belushi: I returned to the
Wheaton area last fall with
my 14-year-old daughter. I
wanted to give her a sense
of where I was from. It was
kind of fun, telling her old

stories about the popcorn
shop. Seeing Wheaton Central
torn down to the ground was
funky. And seeing the County
Jail next to the old Wheaton
courthouse torn down was
cool – I spent three days there
once. Ding dong, the witch is
dead! We walked the streets
of my old neighborhood, to
Lincoln grade school, Edison
Junior High. We had a soda
at the Seven [Dwarfs Restaurant] at Roosevelt [Road] and
President [Street]. It was a
great experience to share with
my daughter, although she
wasn’t as moved as I was. But
I watched her eyes, she was
taking it in.

after all these years. There
is also always a great deal
of excitement and joy. I love
College of DuPage. Those
teachers changed my life.
They rooted me in my craft
and I am always indebted
and grateful to those men and
women who took the time that
I needed and gave me the love
that I needed to focus me. So
whatever College of DuPage
needs, I’m always there to
help. We’re doing two shows:
one to raise money for the
theatre and the John Belushi
Scholarship Fund and one for
the general public.

Lurz: You are also returning
to College of DuPage. What is it
like coming back to the stage –
albeit a newer one – after your
time as a student? Did your
experience there have an impact
on your life?
Belushi: When I go back,

Lurz: You helped create the
John Belushi Scholarship Fund
alongside The Second City in
memory of your brother and
fellow College of DuPage alum.
You also helped establish the
school’s Artist-in-Residence
Fund. What motivated you to
create those programs?
Belushi: I was looking for

I guess there’s always some
kind of pressure to perform

some way to express gratitude

I was looking for some way to
keep John’s name and legacy
alive. Since we both went
to COD and Second City, it
seemed like a natural fit. These
scholarships go out to people
who are a lot like John and
myself: not straight-A students
who always get grants and
scholarships, but kids who are
really bright in what they are
doing. There seems to be a hole
in school programs and universities for talented people who
suck at chemistry and math.

Lurz: Have you seen the plans
for the McAninch Arts Center?
What are your thoughts on the
new facilities?
Belushi: I have not seen the
plans yet. But I do know that
since I was a student at COD,
they have done a remarkable job of redoing it. It is a
gorgeous facility. When I was
there, I was in buildings J and
K, building a stage in the cafeteria for us to do our shows.
All the people who have

worked so tirelessly and so
hard to make College of DuPage a first-rate community
college have done an excellent
job. It’s a beautiful campus.

Lurz: What should people
attending the Board of Comedy
show expect to see?
Belushi: Magic! They’re
going to see magic created in
front of their eyes. We have
no idea what we’re going to
do. We do about nine different
short form improvisational
games. We take suggestions
from the audience and we
make stuff up on the spot.
This is not like watching
TV or a movie or a regular
theatre performance, where
you’re a voyeur. You’re a participant in the audience here.
We are as good as the audience’s suggestions. So I have
a feeling this is going to be a
good audience, a great show,
and we’re going to capture
some magic that people will
remember for a long time.

WHEATON – Flappers,
mobsters, gamblers and
rum-runners filled the DuPage County Historical Museum during its 1920’s-themed
Casino Night fundraiser on
Feb. 28.
Guests were encouraged
to dress for the occasion as
the museum was turned into
an old-time speakeasy during
one of the museum’s biggest
annual events.
“It’s really wonderful that
this event actually happens
in the museum, because
people get to see what their
involvement benefits, but at
the same time, the pressure’s
off,” said Curator Sara Arnas
in a news release about the
fundraiser.

For some reason, the use of

as somewhat out of place for a
warning sign that is there for the

lengthy and could be unfamiliar

I asked a recent naturalized

she did not know the meaning of

ever having read it before. I then

Act, which are designed to support programs that will stabilize
premiums and provide subsidies
to qualified individuals to help
them purchase coverage.”
To all those who think they are
somehow immune from this debacle, think again. We will all sit
idly by while things happen to
others and think, “This will never
happen to me.” It will. Because
it’s the law. And though there
have been highly publicized
examples of entities who are
temporarily exempt from this
law (until after the elections)
who believe they are safe, they
are not.
Not only did I not save $2,500
in premiums, mine went up 48

promise from on high, I did lose
my doctor and the policy I liked.
For me and many more people
every day, it’s real.

Omega prepares your favorites to the letter
DOWNERS GROVE – Everyone knows the best dinner
food is breakfast food; there’s
just something about eggs
Benedict or juicy blueberry
pancakes that hits the spot,
especially late night.
So when my fellow diner
and I originally scanned
Omega Restaurant’s menu, we
thought we’d head straight for
the breakfast section – that is,
until we saw its fully stocked
dinner menu. With gourmet
burgers, more than a dozen
different sandwiches, steak,
seafood and other dishes to
choose from, we spent about
20 minutes just deciding on
what to order.
We kicked off the dining
experience with Omega’s
Famous Greek Saganaki – a
fried cheese dish and, in my
opinion, the best decision
of the night. The appetizer
was brought to the table in a
personal-sized skillet and then
lit on fire in front of us. Giant
flames spread across the
saganaki, providing not only
mouthwatering flavor, but a
surprising show, as well.
Although the menu had us
pulled in many directions, it
was the traditional breakfast
section that claimed both
our palates. My choice was
the Denver Omelette – with
cheese, ham, green pepper,
onion and added mushroom
– while my companion went
with the Omega Skillet – a
pan stacked with hashbrowns,
onions, choice of sausage or
bacon, melted cheese and two
eggs any style.
While I was completely satisfied with my football-sized
omelette – to the point where
some leftovers found a place
in my fridge – there are a
couple items on the menu I’m
already planning on tasting
next time.
Omega’s Saganaki Omelette sounds like a cheesy
and deliciously appealing
way to combine our previous
appetizer and meals. But my
biggest goal for the next visit
is to save room for dessert so I
(and a few friends) can tackle

CICERO – Having gone
above the .500 mark for the
first time all season Monday,
Glenbard West’s boys basketball team ran into a hot squad
Tuesday.
The result was an 86-61 loss
to the host Mustangs in a Class
4A Morton regional semifinal.
Justin Pierce had 16 points
and Kalen Starkey added 11 in
the defeat.
“Morton is tough,” Glenbard West coach Tim Hoder
said. “They’ve got bigs, they
can shoot the ball. They scored
61 points in the first half
against Addison Trail. I was
talking to a few coaches recently and they are playing as
good as anybody around. They
are peaking when it matters.”
The squad finished the season with a record of 14-14, an
impressive accomplishment
considering its youthful roster, the departure of leading
scorer Keith Hayes and an assortment of injuries.
“Some kids really stepped
up,” Hoder said. “Kids like
Will Reedy stepped up and our
sophomores stepped up. The
kids have done a lot of good
things and Corey [Davis] created so many things for others.”
The Hilltoppers had advanced to the semifinals after
hanging on to defeat Proviso
West 63-61 Monday.
It was the third meeting of
the season between the West
Suburban Silver foes, who had
split the previous two games.
This time around, Davis
and Reedy made sure that
their team came out on top. A
Davis rebound and coast-tocoast layup with 39 seconds
left gave Glenbard West an insurmountable four-point lead
and capped off an outstanding
half by the senior guard.
Over the final 16 minutes,
Davis produced 14 points,

nine rebounds and four assists as the Hilltoppers built
a double-digit lead and then
withstood a frantic Panthers’
comeback. Reedy added five
3-pointers and a game-high 21
points.
Leading by three at intermission, Glenbard West
went on a 15-2 run to extend
the score to 45-29. But Proviso West answered with a 13-0
spurt early in the fourth quarter to knot the game at 52-52.
Two free throws by Pierce
gave the Hilltoppers the lead
for good as the home team on
the scoreboard made seven attempts from the charity stripe
down the stretch.
“The kids shot the ball well,
which was a big factor for us,”
Hoder said.
Glenbard West had
wrapped up the regular season with a 68-63 win against
Hinsdale South in a West Suburban Conference crossover
game Feb. 26. The Hilltoppers
had also beaten the Hornets on
Dec. 4.

Glenbard South
Despite a 30-point effort
from Chaun Rickette, the
Raiders came up short in an
81-70 loss against top seed and
regional host Kaneland on
Tuesday.
Tyler Scott added 11 points
for the visitors, who led by
two points heading into the
fourth quarter before being
outscored 29-16 over the final
eight minutes.
Glenbard South began the
postseason with an 88-57 victory over Aurora Central Catholic Monday.
In that affair, Alex Jeske
and Rickette scored 18 points
each to lead the way.
The squad had closed out
the regular season on Friday,
beating Fenton 65-42. Jeske
scored 19 points, Rickette had

Suburban Life
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
JOSH
RUGGLES
Wheaton Academy
Junior | Basketball
Why Ruggles was selected:
Ruggles scored 16 points on Friday in a 59-49 win
against Marmion, which gave the Warriors a 10-0
league mark.
Josh Ruggles is the
leading scorer for a Wheaton
Academy team that recently
captured its fifth conference
championship in a row. On
Friday, the Wheaton resident knocked down a pair
of 3-pointers on his way to a
game-high 16 points in a win
against Marmion that completed a perfect run through
the Suburban Christian
Conference for the Warriors.
Ruggles, the Glen Ellyn Bank
& Trust Athlete of the Week
spoke with Suburban Life
sports reporter Scott Schmid
about those teams accomplishments and the program’s
continued success under firstyear coach Peter Froedden.

A new coach and a new system but the same results. What
has been the key?
Everybody bought in. And
we have two seniors this year
who are two extremely great

leaders and great team players.
They’ve really led our team.

What can you say about your
two seniors, Gordon Behr and
William Burdett?
Gordon brings everything. He can bring scoring,
rebounding and great team energy. He’s a straight-up stud.
And Burdett, he’s just fun to
play with. Whenever our season is over with, he will say
that he has no regrets, that he
gave 100 percent. He’s the guy
who is diving for every loose
ball. He just loves to play.

How special is it to win
conference for a fifth straight
year and to go undefeated in the
league?
It’s good, especially with it
being our last year in the conference. And going undefeated
in conference is special. The
last couple of seasons, we’ve
lost games in conference.

WEST CHICAGO – Gordon

the Warriors knocked off
Marmion 59-49 to cap off the

“That was one of our goals
this year,” said Gordon Behr,
who was one of two seniors,
along with William Burdett,
to be honored on senior night.
“It’s our last year in the conference and we wanted to go
out winning it.”
Behr finished with eight
points and five rebounds in
his final home game. Josh
Ruggles led all scorers with
16 points, Burdett also totaled
eight points, and Jacob Lindstedt finished with seven.

O’Mara moves to top of
Benet scoring list
LISLE - In Benet’s regular
season finale victory against
Carmel on Feb. 26, Glen Ellyn
resident Sean O’Mara became
the all-time leading scorer in
program history.
Earlier in the year, O’Mara
had gone over the 1,500-point
plateau for his career in a

victory against
Nazareth on
Feb. 14.
Headed
to Xavier in
the fall, the
6-foot-9 senior Sean O’Mara
is averaging
more than 24 points and 13
rebounds a game this winter.
As a team, the Redwings

were awarded the No. 1 seed
at the East Aurora sectional
and were set to begin the
postseason Tuesday at the
Lemont regional against the
host Indians. A victory in that
game would send Benet into
Friday’s regional championship
against either Waubonsie
Valley or Naperville North.

Meet the all-area north team
Here are Suburban Life Media’s 2014 girls basketball selections
The girls basketball season is nearing its end as the last two
state championship games take place Saturday. It’s the perfect

time to celebrate the accomplishments of some of the top players
from locals schools with the 2013-14 girls basketball all-area team.

Chrissy Baird

Tomei Ball

Steffy Bazigos

Maggie Dansdill

Melinda Franke

Emari Jones

School: Wheaton North
Year: Senior
Impact: This three-plus
year varsity player leaves
quite the legacy as the
program’s all-time leading
scorer and rebounder. This
winter, Baird led the Falcons averaging 15.1 points
and 9.7 rebounds per game
while also adding 47 steals
and 48 blocked shots.

School: Glenbard South
Year: Senior
Impact: A consistent force
for the Raiders throughout
her high school career,
Ball’s senior campaign was
no different. The senior
forward topped Glenbard
South with a 13.7 points
per game average while
adding 6.1 rebounds per
outing. She also totaled 48
steals.

School: Glenbard South
Year: Senior
Impact: This senior’s
intensity and competitiveness were just as vital as
her scoring ability. The
guard led the Raiders in
3-pointers and was second
on the team with a 10.3
points per game average. She also tallied 3.0
rebounds and 2.4 assists
and over two steals per
contest.

School: Wheaton
Warrenville South
Year: Senior
Impact: This senior made
a glorious return to the
court after tearing her ACL
last season. A steady presence on the floor for the
Tigers, Dansdill was second on the team in scoring
with 10.2 points per game.
The guard also flashed an
all-around game with 5.3
rebounds, 2.3 assists and
two steals per outing.

School: Wheaton
Warrenville South
Year: Senior
Impact: Few players work
as hard in the paint as this
senior, who set a program
record for most rebounds in
a season this winter. Franke
averaged 10.8 boards per
contest and notched 197
offensive rebounds in 32
games. The forward also
added 7.4 points on 52
percent shooting.

School: Wheaton North
Year: Junior
Impact: Having not
played point guard
since junior high, Jones
moved to that position
this winter and excelled.
Rarely coming off the
floor, Jones averaged
11.3 points per game and
topped the squad in assists (98) and steals (56)
while shooting 77 percent
from the free throw line.

Honorable
mention

Jamie Netzley

Laila Pickens

Reagan Sproat

Kelly Thornton

School: Wheaton Academy
Year: Sophomore
Impact: This sophomore
continues to grow her
game on the court. In her
second varsity season,
Netzley topped the Warriors averaging 10.8 points
per game. The guard also
led Wheaton Academy in
3-pointers (19), assists (2.7
per game) and steals (3.2
per game).

School: Glenbard North
Year: Senior
Impact: Despite missing 11
games after breaking her
leg during practice late in
the season, Pickens was
still selected as the Panthers’ MVP. The athletic
player and team leader
shot 47 percent from the
floor and averaged 10.4
points, 5.4 rebounds and
2.4 steals per game.

School: St. Francis
Year: Sophomore
Impact: This sophomore
had a breakout campaign
for the Spartans, averaging
a team-high 12.9 points
and 6.8 rebounds per
game. Sproat knocked
down 30 3-pointers and
shot 46 percent from
two-point territory. She
also totaled 32 steals and
15 blocks.

School: Wheaton North
Year: Junior
Impact: This junior guard
is a talented scorer who
can shoot it from the
perimeter and also take
the ball to the basket.
Thornton was second on
the Falcons with her 13.2
points per game average
and she led Wheaton North
with 60 3-pointers. She
also totaled 38 steals.

Meghan
Waldron
School: Wheaton
Warrenville South
Year: Senior
Impact: What more can be
said about a player whom
has the ability to do it all
on court? Leaving South as
the all-time leading scorer
and rebounder, Waldron
saved her best season for
last. This winter, the point
guard averaged 21.4 points,
8.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists
and 2.9 steals per game.

Hard work helps
Waldron leave mark
as all-time best
By SCOTT SCHMID
sschmid@shawmedia.com
WHEATON – The ideal scenario for any coach is to have
their best player also be a hard
worker and great teammate.
And for the past four years,
Wheaton Warrenville South
coach Rob Kroehnke has lived
that dream with Meghan Waldron on the court.
“She is the best player who
works extremely hard on her
game and pretty much gets joy
from having her teammates be
successful,” Kroehnke said.
“That’s the bottom line with
her.”
Waldron leaves the Tigers’
program as their most decorated player, having become both
the all-time leading scorer and
rebounder this winter.
“It’s probably been one of
the most enjoyable things I
have ever been a part of,” Waldron said of her high school
career. “I grew up with a lot of
the girls I played with at South
and it was an incredible journey with them.
“It’s been a dream of mine
since I was a little girl to play
at Wheaton Warrenville South
and it’s been a blessing to get
that opportunity.”
More than her individual
numbers, and those again were
gaudy this winter with her pergame averages of 21.4 points
and 8.8 rebounds, winning was
the ultimate benchmark for the
senior guard. In her four years
on the court, the Tigers went
102-19 while capturing a quartet of DuPage Valley Conference championships.
“We didn’t like to lose,”
Waldron said. “We like to win
and we worked hard for it. It’s
not like success is an accident,
we worked hard all summer
and we wanted the best for
each other. It didn’t matter to
us who got the most points or
the most rebounds.”
That thirst for team success
is what drove Waldron in the
offseason.
“Over the summer, I always
wanted to improve my game,”

Soon the guard will have to
introduce herself to a new set
of teammates. Waldron will
play at DePaul next season.

“I’m excited,” Waldron
said. “It will be a lot different
than high school, every girl is
going to be very good and it’s
a more physical game. I will
have to prepare for that, but
I’m excited for the next chapter, too.”
As for the program she
leaves behind, Kroehnke will
begin the impossible task of
trying to fill the void left by
Waldron.
“What she has done for this
program overall,” Kroehnke
said, “she left her mark and it
will be around for a while.”

New IHSA rule will affect several area schools
By DAN SANTAROMITA
dsantaromita@shawmedia.com
The Illinois High School Association recently announced
adjustments to its multiplier
rule for private schools that
should impact the class that
some area programs compete
in for the state playoffs.
The new rule, called the
Success Advancement Component by the IHSA, will move
teams up a class if they win at
least two state trophies during
a four-year period. The new
rule will take effect starting
with the 2014-15 school year.
This won’t have any impact
on teams that are already competing in the highest class or
sports that have just one class
such as tennis, water polo,
swimming and boys volleyball.
Football, which has the
most classes of any IHSA sport
with eight, will have a slightly
different take on the rule:
• Starting with the 2015 season, schools would be moved
up two classes if they made
three state finals during a
four-year period.
• Starting in 2016, schools
would be moved up three
classes if they make four state

in 2014 and, if the Broncos do

not make a title game in 2014,
they will be Class 7A in 2015. If
they make a state title game in
2014, they would go all the way
up to 8A the next season.
Schools that move up more
than one class will move down
one class per year until they
reach their appropriate classification for their enrollment
should they stop meeting the
advancement criteria listed
above.
Here is a list of teams in the
Suburban Life coverage area
that would be affected based
on the past four years, including fall 2013, but not winter or
spring 2014.
• Montini football (5A
champs 2010-12; second in 2013)
• Montini girls basketball

• Montini girls cross country (2A third place in 2011 and

• Montini wrestling (2A

• Nazareth baseball (3A
fourth place in 2011; third in

• St. Francis girls volleyball

ruits and vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and iber that will keep you healthy and help you
grow to be tall and strong. Vegetables come from the
earth, grown on farms across this country and beyond. But
don’t leave it to the farming professionals — this spring, start
planting your own garden.
Location: Find a place with plenty of sun. Look for good soil
that is away from trees and bushes that have big roots or
branches that might interfere with your growing plants. You
also will need to think about water — is your garden near a
hose, or do you have another way to water your plants? If you
don’t have access to land, plant your seeds in pots on a sunny
porch or balcony.
plan: Plants need space, so make sure not to overcrowd. Keep-

ing your seeds in rows helps you stay organized and can give
your plants room to grow. Draw out a plan to maximize space.

follow instructions: Read the directions on each pack of
seeds, and follow them closely. If the directions say to plant
each seed 2 feet apart, make sure to do that. Even though they
might start out as little seeds, some plants can grow quite
large, especially if you are doing a good job with them.
maintain: Common gardening tools include a hose, watering

can, spade, rake and hoe. You will need a way to dig into the
earth to plant your seeds, and also need tools to maintain your
garden. Some of these can be helpful in removing weeds that
will sprout up and crowd your plants. And don’t forget to water!
If your plants are looking and feeling dry, make sure to give
them a healthy shower.

Notice of Petition by Kramer Tree Specialists, Inc. for an Adjusted Standard before
the Illinois Pollution Control Board
Petitioner: Kramer Tree Specialists, Inc.
300 Charles Court
West Chicago, IL 60185
On February 26, 2014, Kramer Tree Specialists, Inc. (“Kramer”) iled a petition for an
adjusted standard with the Illinois Pollution Control Board (the “IPCB”). he IPCB
docket number assigned to Kramer’s petition is AS 2014-002.
Regulatory Standards from which an Adjusted Standard is Sought
Kramer seeks an adjusted standard from certain of the requirements of 35
Illinois Administrative Code Sections 830.202(d), (e)(3), (f), (g), (l)(1), 830.205(a)(1)
(A), 830.206(f), (j), (k), (l) and (n). 830.503, 830.504 and 830.507. As a general matter,
35 Illinois Administrative Code Part 830 sets forth composting regulations that are
designed to promote the creation of compost from landscape wastes in an environmentally protective manner. he regulations set forth in Illinois Administrative Code
830 require the environmentally responsible composting of grass, shrubbery, cuttings,
leaves, tree limbs and other materials accumulated as the result of the care of lawns,
shrubbery, vines and trees. However, Kramer’s operations, as described below, use such
materials for a productive purpose – to create mulch for residential and commercial
use – and the regulations in Illinois Administrative Code 830 simply do not account for
productive and environmentally responsible operations like Kramer’s.
Proposed Adjusted Standards
Kramer’s proposed adjusted standards recognize that Illinois Administrative
Code 830 was not drated to cover operations like Kramer’s; however, the proposed
adjusted standards will maintain the environmentally protective features of those regulations. Kramer’s proposed adjusted standards will require it to manage all leaves in
such a way as to minimize decomposition and to capture or prevent any deleterious air
or water emissions. Speciically, Kramer’s facility is designed to collect all water runof
from stored leaves and will employ a ine spray over the production area to minimize
the potential for any dust emissions. In short, Kramer’s proposed adjusted standards
will preserve the environmentally protective aspects of Illinois Administrative Code
Part 830, while accommodating Kramer’s operations.
Description of Kramer’s Activity that is the Subject of the Adjusted Standard Proceedings
Kramer owns and operates a ten acre tree care facility. As part of that operation, Kramer produces and sells leaf mulch, which is a blend of leaves and sized woody
material. Kramer’s leaf mulch production process takes place on an annual cycle. Each
autumn, Kramer collects leaves from several local municipalities. he collected leaves
are then stacked on a concrete pad and any water contained within the leaves is drained
of and collected. As customer mulch orders are received, stacked leaves are processed
through grinding, and for certain products, then mixed with other wood waste prior to
sale. During this process, the leaves are managed to minimize decomposition in order
to preserve the leaves for use in mulch, and preventative measures are taken to ensure
that no dust or particulate matter is emitted from the stacks of leaves.
Opportunity to Request a Public Hearing
Any person may cause a public hearing to be held in the above-described adjusted
standard proceeding by iling a hearing request with the Illinois Pollution Control
Board within 21 days ater the date of the publication of this notice. he hearing request
should clearly indicate the docket number for the adjusted standard proceeding, as
found in this notice, and must be mailed to the Clerk of the Board, Illinois Pollution
Control Board, 100 W. Randolph Street, Suite 11-500, Chicago, Illinois 60601.
